An innovative program featuring never-before-seen work, Kaleidoscope includes a unique collaboration between choreographer Da’ Von Doane, formerly of Dance Theatre of Harlem, and New Jersey-based visual artist Grace Lynne Haynes, whose creations have graced the cover of The New Yorker magazine. A recent graduate of the Rutgers Art & Design MFA program, Haynes will be designing scenic elements and costumes for Doane’s new ballet, a partnership amplifying both artists’ creative talents.
Also commissioned for the program will be a new work by ARB’s Ryoko Tanaka and pianist-composer Ian Howells, inspired by Salvador Dali’s painting titled Swans Reflecting Elephants. The program also features Claire Davison’s enchanting Bewitched set to Ella Fitzgerald’s iconic vocals. Rounding out the performance will be a dazzling classical pas de deux, choreographed by Artistic Director Ethan Stiefel, set to music by Léo Delibes and showcasing the balletic bravura of ARB’s artists.
On Exhibit: As part of ARB's Kaleidoscope performances, LIGHTER THAN AIR: a photographic series by renowned photographer Harald Schrader in collaboration with American Repertory Ballet, will be exhibited in the lobby of the NBPAC.
